Answer 1

it floors me that you are going to buy a new bike, then immediately start with the upgrades! why not get the right bike now? work something out with your lbs, so you aren't wasting all your money!

Answer 2

Definitely upgrade the fork before the brakes. V-brakes will work just as well as discs if they're setup right, they just aren't as nice in wet/muddy conditions. However, RST forks are pretty poor quality and will eventually stop working. So...save your money, ride the stock fork until it breaks or freezes up on you, and then put something nice on there (preferably from RockShox or Fox).
